Load design from remote client
2. T8-/T8-2 Network
2.1 Load design from remote client
When using a MY.ZSK system in conjunction with a MY.ZSK router, a ZSK
embroidery machine with T8-/T8-2-control unit in a local network, a connection
to another network can be established with a shared folder via a parallel connec-
tion. In this process the MY.ZSK router acts as a bypass allowing the requested
connection through.
This way from this remote client which is not connected to the local network
for example an embroidery pattern can be loaded directly or via a barcode
reader in the machine .
Requirements:
Local network with router and connection to the Internet.
Networked ZSK embroidery machine with T8-/T8-2 control unit.
MY.ZSK system with MY.ZSK router in the local network.
Access to a remote domain or a remote client.

IP Adress of T8-/T8-2 control in local network
2.2 IP Adress of T8-/T8-2 control in local network
In a network, the IP addresses of the connected individual devices are usually
generated and managed automatically by a DHCP server in the router of the
network. In some cases it is required to assign a static IP address to the con-
nected devices. This then needs to be set manually in the control software of the
device. In the router, this address is then applied to the connected device and
reserved.
